Was there or has there ever been a time in your life where you actually had a wide network of friendships? And more pointedly, was there ever a point where you were well liked to the point of popularity?
It is totally meaningless to me now, but there was actually a time in my life I had many friends and that period was 10 years ago during graduate school. Back then, I went out of my way to greet many, many people before lectures and events, organized social outings, and engaged heavily in social media. I knew how to make people feel good about themselves and included, and this was my primary way of dealing with people. It is hard to believe and recollect now, considering how much of a misanthrope I am today. Those days have zero bearing on the shitty life I lead now, which kind of flies in the face of the assumption that being a more social, outgoing person means your life will turn out better. I wonder if any others here can relate.
